Spotted a write up in Denizen that said we should revisit this quirky little dumpling and cocktail house. Not disappointed! We chose to sit outside under the heaters and enjoyed some people watching :-)Food wise; No1. The Duck Rolls - come in three and our very friendly and thoughtful waitstaff Leine asked if we would like to add a fourth - so glad we did. They were delicious. The photo shows three - had already eaten one by the time I took the photo!No 2. the Sichuan cold Noodles - so much flavour and an excellent contrast to the hot dishes.No 3. Prawn and Pea Shoot Dumplings - perfectly cooked accompanied by a delicious XO Chilli sauceNo 4: Beef and Kimchi Dumplings - not quite to my tastesLeft the Impossible Pork wontons until next visitDrinksSmokey Bandit cocktail - Loved the presentation of the smoking cinnamon cigar - tasted pretty good too!Lady of the Lake cocktail - it was ok but would try something else next visitCatalina Sounds Chardonnay - excellentVilla Wolf Pinot Blanc - also perfect for the one with the sweeter palateOverall delicious after work dinner in a very warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was prompt, we ordered as we went so we could space the dishes.$150 for 2 cocktails, 2 wines, and 4 dishes.Highly recommend. Living in the city we are spoilt for choice but this one is a keeper - we will definitely be back soon, even on a rainy night :-)

nice small place around the corner, friendly service, giving 3 stars because the dumplings taste so average, also it’s quite expensive, $18 for a plate of 6 dumplings and the dumplings are each quite small, apart from that I enjoy sitting outside in the sun, the restaurant has cool settings etc.

Quirky fun setting, private and cozy feel. Just the right number of dumpling flavours, 4 dishes was perfect for an early entree! Duck and leek and the chicken wonton were favourites. Lovely staff, super friendly. Try the S'pear Me cocktail!

Our first outing since 108 days of lockdown. Went for all you can eat. Everything was delicious, including the chilli cocktails. Like most people, duck was our favourite

Nice, intimate atmosphere for a random Thursday night. The Midnight Moth cocktail was the fave of the night, along with the beef and kimchi dumps which had a really good chilli hit to them.Sadly, our least fave was the pea shoot and prawn as we felt it tasted quite fishy which worried us (but we were fine the next day). We also found the service was good when we had it - it wasn’t busy yet I found myself having to wave someone down everytime our glass was empty. Would return!

Perch, situated in the heart of Britomart, occupies a charming and welcoming corner spot, making it an ideal choice for a refreshing drink and some appetizers before heading out for a night on the town or winding down for the night.The ambiance exudes a delightful allure, promising a pleasurable experience. The service provided throughout the visit was exceptional, leaving a lasting impression.The cocktails were delightful, and I highly recommend trying the Impossible Pork Wontons. However, the true standout for me was the Smashed Garlicky Cucumbers, which were absolutely divine.If I were to offer a constructive comment, it would be that the food selection could benefit from more variety. While their menu is compact and concise, it leans towards the pricier side, considering the portions are not particularly substantial.

Quite a small menu but it has everything you need at a dumpling bar. The duck + hoisin dumplings are AMAZING. We also tried the fish, sambal and coconut dumplings which were a nice variant to the usual dumpling flavours. We hadn't ordered prawn dumplings but they somehow were included with our order and they just let us have them for free! We tried both the dessert dumplings; chocolate & banoffee. Both so so good but the chocolate dumpling was a definite winner.The decor and vibe of the restaurant is really good and the staff are amazing. I will definitely be going back.

Back with a vengence—despite missing the xuxu iconic favourites, the new menu delivered beautifully. Delicate, melt in your mouth—Best dumpling dough in town, hands down.If you’ve been a patron since the days of yore, you’ll be pleasantly thrilled that the energy of the space remains intimately safe and cool. New faces are all friendly and helpful.

If you come here with the mindset of authentic Asian food, you're going to complain and I suggest you head over to a greatly rated dumpling place by Asians for Asians. If you come here for a modern, western twist on Asian cuisine, then you'll probably have no complaints. It is difficult to rate a cultural food place fairly if you walk in with the cultural expectations. One of our guests specifically said that her ancestors are probably rolling in their graves at a banoffee dumpling" - however

Our new favourite Dumpling place! Great service (I think the waitress was called nicole, but not sure), we had pork and shrimp dumplings, fish sambal and coconut, tofu shiitake and chinese chives and banoffee dumplings... each of them amazing! And the banoffee (sweet) ones where a real surprise!! We had a few cocktails including xuxu martini, rosemary margarita, harajuku dreaming and José flip, great combinations, my favourite was the xuxu martini, seconded by José flip if you can enjoy egg on your cocktails. Thank you guys fot the great experience!
